InsideOut completes flagship Pret A Manger store at Heathrow Airport T2

UK. London-based masterplanning and architecture firm InsideOut has announced the full completion of Pret A Manger’s new flagship store in Heathrow Airport Terminal 2.

Pret’s brand name and colour have been combined to form a strong entrance portal, bookended with digital displays to showcase the cafés offering

The execution of the 4,400 sq ft space involved InsideOut worked closely with Pret’s project and design team to streamline customer flow for the unique demands of the airport environment.

Sandwiches, salads, wraps and drink options are prominently displayed inside the new Heathrow Pret A Manger

Bespoke joinery is strategically centred along the shop front to guide customer flow, display merchandise and provide seating that looks back into the terminal.

InsideOut Founding Director Chris Parker said: “InsideOut are no strangers to the often-challenging world of airport interiors, having completed over 20 airside projects over the last ten years. Our design for this project combines the classic Pret A Manger look with their revived secondary colour palette to bring consistency to their brand recognition and a uniqueness to this Terminal 2 store.

“Reviewing passenger and operational flow in depth lead to this simple, open and natural floor arrangement. Warm joinery ties the whole shop together in this modern industrial aesthetic, with playful tones in the linings and upholstery offering guests a spacious and refreshing environment prior to their onward travel.”
